Guest guest Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 hello, For my anatomy class in high school, we are researching the genetic disorder of achondroplasia to highten out awareness of the condition. I would love to get in contact, by email with some who is afflicted with achondroplasia or their family members, so my class may gain new insite into the condition. In paticular I would like to know how achondroplasia affects the lives of individuals. Would you be able to help me with this? thank you for your time Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 My daughter has one eye that is totally blue but the other eye is half blue and half brown. It is perfectly divided diagonally between the blue and the brown, The blue is very blue and the brown very brown, I noticed it when she was about a month old. It is still that way to this day and my daughter is 33 years old. Her heterochromia is sectional. Everyone on both sides of the family have blue eyes except that I have one brother that has brown eyes. We have no idea where that came from. My daughter is the only one with blue/brown. Looking at what I just typed "blue/brown" is exactly how her eye is divided. My daughter had three children and is also married to a blue eyed family. Her first child has green eyes but the second two are blue. Hope this helps with your project.indrajit agrawal <indrajitagrawal@...> wrote: In school i am doing a science project on heterochromia.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Greetings!I just joined the group -- hello everyone!My son, Evan, was born last August. At about a month old, his eyes did the typical baby thing and started to change colors. One eye turned a luscious brown, and the other a delicious green. No one in my family or my husband's family has heterochromia. The pediatric ophthalmologist confirmed that it is congenital and benign (whew!). A picture of Dad's eyes, my eyes, and Evan's eyes is here on Evan's blog ( http://flyingfam.blogspot.com/2007/11/heterochromia.html). Other posts there have additional details about visits to the doctor for his eyes and so forth.Take care!Krista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi my name is Sheila and I am 51 years of age. I developed heterochromia sometime after I turned 40. I don'T know the reason, but I didn't even know until a few people told me I had different color eyes. At first I thought they were kidding , I never bothered to look, but after another person told me, I found out it was true. All I can figure is I once fell very hard on my back and hit my head on the cement twice when I came down. It was the only time I ever hit my head or had any injury at all. If this is not the cause then I have no idea what happened. My right eye is dark brown and my left is green. I have one daughter with green eyes, my husband had brown like mine. Her eyes are really beautiful and now I have one green one like hers. I love it. Well I hope this helps some, I can't tell you anything else as it really is a mystery to me also.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hi Sheila. You probably have what they refer to as acquired heterochromia from an injury. If you have no vision problems, then just enjoy the unique beauty of brown and green! ch In school i > am doing a science project on heterochromia.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi Krista. I'm sure you felt better after your saw the opthalmalogist. Same for us with my grandson, Preston. It is quite unnerving when you read about all of the horrors that can be associated with heterochromia. It is benign for him as well, thank God, but it is not normal. His eyes are beautiful to us, however. You can check out his eyes in the photo section of this group.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 my daughter (a year old) has one brown eye and one light blue eye with 3 brown dots.. she was born with it. i have read that sometime it is due to any injury within the womb, i guess there is no way to tell though.. no other family members have heterochromia that i'm aware of. good luck on the project, please post your final results for us to see! > > In school i am doing a science project on heterochromia.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi! My son was born with a brown eye and a grey eye. I have brown eyes and my husband has green eyes. My grandmother's brother also had heterochromia, he had a blue eye and a brown one. We believe that 's heterochromia was inherited. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm 14, and I have a hazel left eye and a green right eye. My mom has brown eyes, my dad has blue eyes, my little sister has light brown eyes. My maternal grandparents (grandma has green eyes, grandpa has brown) and my paternal grandparents (grandma has brown eyes and so does my grandpa) My eyes were blue until I was about 3 (unusual since eyes mature at about 6 months) and started becoming blue-green around 4. One changed faster than the other though. They stayed that way till I was about 8 or 9 and then started going from green in one eye and blue green in the other to hazel and green, where they currently are now. Good luck with your project!

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've never had any eye accidents to my knowledge, and even early pictures of me you can see the 1 blue, 1 green eye. Genetically, I have no clue how this happened. Both parents and both siblings have brown eyes. Grandmother on father's side had green, and grandmother on mother's had blue--so maybe that is why? For me it was definitely inherited, and not due to trauma... RUTH > > In school i am doing a science project on heterochromia.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Cheryl, My name is Sheila and I'am not sure where I developed Heterochromia, but it happened somtime after I turned forty. There is no family related traits or reasons for having this. I am the only person in my family history with heterochromia. I may have developed this from having hit my head on the cement one day when i fell backwards. I only guess this because I have no other explanation. My eyes were dark brown my whole life and one day a person I met mentioned my different colored eyes. I never gave it much thought until it was mentioned later my someone else. I finally looked at my eyes and noticed my left eye had turned green. I was very suprised and couldn't understand why this happened, and the reason I never noticed it was because I was one of those people who after turning fourty was no longer interested in looking at myself in the mirror. So when this actually happened I will never kinow. But it is a great conversation piece. Good Luck- Sheila  Mothergator Re: school project > > In school i am doing a science project on heterochromia.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I don't believe I have ever seen a post at this site (over 600 of us) from someone who has heterochromia due to an injury or eye drops. And I have met several people over the years and all inherited their beautiful eyes. Have you spoken to an opthmologist or other eye doctor? The only person I ever hear of with different colored eyes due to an injury is Bowie. I had a cousin with heterochromia-- I have one hazel green eye and one hazel brown eye.. and now, 2 generations later, my neice has a son with one dark gray eye and one blue eye.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I don't have any other explanation for my green left eye, It happened late in life and after 40 years of dark brown eyes this was a trip to see this change. I have talked to an eye doctor but he had no real answer for me. But it was just a passing conversation when he was seeing my Dad. One day I will get it checked out, and see if there is an explanation for this. There is no one in my family history with it. So i guess I am pretty unique. Well thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi, It's great that you're doing this project. I hope you share the results with us! I have a twin sister. We look VERY similar, but she doesn't have heterochromia. There is the unfounded theory I was perhaps kicked in utero, but I think it's more likely my eye coloration is due to genetics. I have a nearly black colored iris, and a hazely green mixed eye, that has all the colors of my mother, father, brother and sister's eyes (green, blue, gray and golden brown.) No one in my immediate or extended family (100+ people) has heterochromia. My brother's eyes changed color during puberty, as did my dad's. These stories of people's one eye changing at 40 are fascinating! I had no idea that could happen. My eyes were dark blue til I was about 1 year old, one slightly darker than the other, then they began to change color. Good luck with your study!

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello , caught your reply about being fascinated with the story of my one eye changing color after i turned forty. I was just as freaked out as anyone when it happened to me. I would have never thought this was possible, but it was. I would love to find out what happened to me for this to have taken place. I guess I will always wonder? I have asked many people and there have been some interesting reasons for this but the only one that could be remotely possible would be the fall I took. but even that is unsure. Would love to have an answer, but I really don't believe I will ever get one. Well it is a very interesting conversation piece.
